Death is of course part of life, but you do bring a lot of life to this forum, Bro Cabo and we all appreciate you - such a positive force and so lucky of your cousin to have had you for a close friend.

I too lost a 'cousin' last week - that is a cousin by marriage, but one who died young (drowning) and never reached even a part of his potential. That is when it is so sad.

Next time you take time off, have no fear. I am ready to assume your persona until you get back. I will call myself Cabo Cruiser, REA# 119. Please send your social security number and credit card number so it will seem authentic. I have been practicing my WOWZAA!I have to go polish my bike (Berla) now. Take care.

All you guys are entirely too much -- shame we cannot meet, say, every Wednesday night for pizza and, more importantly, to press the flesh... and, Br. Larry, I send my positive thoughts and prayers for you and the family for such an untimely loss! Br. Blue, I'll be sure to PM you in advance of any future forum MIA situations that come up for me so that you can keep up the good (?) work... and, thankfully, Br. PhilTex, will keep you honest...
